This is an exciting opportunity for a gifted leader who wants to impact the quality of life for thousands of terminally ill children and adults in South East Europe, where access to dignified care at the end of life is very limited. 

Hospices of Hope is an international charity that has been pioneering the development of hospice care in this region since 1991, beginning in Romania and expanding to Serbia, Republic of Moldova and Albania. However, other countries in the region are also needing help. 

Hospices of Hope's partner charity in Romania, Hospice Casa Sperantei, has become the leading provider of palliative care services and education in the region. More than 40,000 patients have received care to date. Hospices of Hope has led capital campaigns to successfully build two in-patient hospices and a Centre for children and families affected by life-limiting illnesses in Romania, as well as establishing the first hospice centre in Serbia and setting up mobile teams in all 4 countries. It has campaigned, together with its country partners for improved legislation, local funding and better access to services. 

Hospices of Hope's UK operation is based in Sevenoaks, Kent (30 minutes from London), and has a branch office in Edinburgh and a sister charity in New York. The CEO will lead the UK team and should have management experience and a good knowledge of fund-raising, finance and development issues. They will also work with the country partner charities to further their development and initiate new developments in coooperation with the Board of Trustees. Previous experience in an international development charity, a palliative care organisation or similar organisation would be an advantage but not essential.

Hospices of Hope is a non-denominational Christian-based charity network which serves some of the most vulnerable people in South East Europe, regardless of religion, ethnicity or ability to pay (all services are provided free of charge). It has received numerous awards and international recognition for its pioneering work.

The CEO will have a crucial part to play in the next chapter of the charity's development.

History of CBM Global

Until now, the CBM federation has been made up of 10 Member Associations (MAs) providing the vital link between persons with disabilities in 25 of the poorest countries, and people that have the interest, capacities and resources to help.

There have for some time been fundamental differences over how CBM should best place itself to contribute to the wider disability agenda. Earlier this year, it was agreed that a new federation – CBM Global – would be formed with a simplified governance and a greater focus on disability inclusion. And while our excellent field programmes will continue there will be a greater emphasis on the interconnection between programme, advocacy and advisory work.

With an income of €43m, CBM Global is made up of 7 of the Member Associations (CBM Australia, CBM Ireland, CBM Kenya, CBM New Zealand, CBM South Africa, CBM Switzerland, and CBM UK) with programmes worldwide and Country Offices in 11 countries (Philippines, Bangladesh, Laos, Nepal, Indonesia, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Burkina, Nigeria, Madagascar and Bolivia).

There is widespread excitement about the opportunities the fresh federation affords. Coming with strong networks, substantial funds and a progressive approach to development, we now have the chance to configure ourselves to serve and thrive in the INGO context of the 2020s and beyond.

The remarkable initiative of a few far-sighted pioneers came to fruition with the creation of the IIC. For those pioneers, including the few individuals that became widely known as the Monuments Men, the destruction of war only sharpened their convictions that the preservation of cultural artefacts was too important to be left to chance.

IIC is an independent and unifying international organisation.

This commitment drives everything we do - from our intellectually stimulating Congresses and prestigious Journal, to activities specifically tailored to capture the imagination and curiosity of students and emerging conservators.
